Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 6 large flour tortillas Cut into small circles
  • 8 oz cream cheese Softened to room temperature
  • ½ cup powdered sugar For the filling
  • 1 cup heavy cream Whipped to stiff peaks
  • 1 cup golden sandwich cookies Crushed for the coating
  • ¼ cup freeze dried strawberries Crushed and mixed with the cookies
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries Diced finely for topping
  • ½ cup strawberry syrup For drizzling
  • 1 cup cooking oil For frying

Equipment

  • 1 Large skillet For frying the tortillas
  • 1 Round biscuit cutter For cutting the shells
  • 1 Piping bag For inserting the cream filling neatly
  • 1 Wire taco rack For cooling the shells in shape

Method
 

  1. Cut small circles from the flour tortillas using a biscuit cutter to create the shells so they are completely uniform in size.
  2. Fry the tortillas in hot oil until they are slightly golden to soften them so they fold easily without breaking.
  3. Roll the warm shells directly into the crushed cookie mixture to coat them so a sweet crunchy crust forms.
  4. Beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar in a bowl to mix the base so it looks perfectly smooth.
  5. Fold the whipped heavy cream into the cheese mixture gently to lighten it so the filling becomes incredibly fluffy.
  6. Pipe the creamy filling generously into every coated taco shell to assemble the dessert so it looks completely full.
  7. Spoon the diced fresh strawberries over the cream cheese filling to garnish the tacos so they look beautifully vibrant.
  8. Drizzle the sticky strawberry syrup across the arranged tacos to finish the dish so it is perfectly sweet and ready to eat.

Notes

Coat the fried tortillas in the crushed cookie mixture immediately while they are still hot so the sweet crumbs stick perfectly to the shell.
